More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell."
"It is a common mistake to confuse the exceptional with the impossible."
"I have always been a seeker of truth, however uncomfortable it may be."
"The most difficult problems are found in the simplest things."
"Education never ends, Watson. It is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last."
About Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930)
Scottish physician and author whose Sherlock Holmes (created 1887) became the most-portrayed literary character in film and television history. Closely associated with G.K. Chesterton (Father Brown detective creator and Edwardian contemporary) and Wilkie Collins (earlier detective-fiction predecessor (The Moonstone)). For an intellectual contrast, see Harry Houdini, American escape artist and skeptic — Houdini publicly debunked the spiritualist mediums Doyle endorsed; Doyle insisted Houdini was secretly using real psychic powers. Their 1920s friendship-then-feud is the cleanest 'magician's debunking vs Sherlock-Holmes-author's credulity' irony in cultural history — the rationalist's creator believed the impossible.
